Borders?

Borders?
I am making a long table runner. I'm so bummed I've put on a couple of borders already, but realized that the wider one is the wrong color (the color is in the runner).
So, I have:
--1 1/2" border navy
--2 1/2" border brown (this one I wanted green and got distracted)
What I'm wondering is if it would look ok if I added another 1 1/2" green border or should I make another 2 1/2" border in green.
I'm so bummed.......I should of just left this alone as I've been interrupted a handful of times while I've been working on it.

Can/Would you post a picture with what it would look like with the green border instead of the tan?
I think it looks nice/intentional the way it is. (I do not say things look nice to me when I do not like them.)

I think it looks lovely! I would quilt it as is and your thread choice could tie it together. Remember if adding borders separately, each border is going to stretch the edges and you may have ripply borders on the table runner. I like to piece several border together and then apply them to a runner.
